Green Machine Smoothie
from Cookie + Kate

⅓ cup chopped frozen banana (entirely optional, add if you want a more creamy texture)

2 teaspoons ginger (mine came from a jar but you can grate fresh ginger instead)

½ cup orange juice

1 small handful of cilantro (pull the leaves from the stalks)

1 lime (juiced or remove the seeds and add the flesh, too) or one lemon

2 cups of kale (pull leaves from two stalks to make two cups) or 2 cups spinach

1 granny smith apple (preferably organic), cut into big pieces or one pear
